Arsenal have gone from talking about playing the Champions League to being considered among the teams that are fighting for relegation from the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta’s team started well this season, but with seven losses in their last 10 league games, we can’t help but consider relegation from the Premier League right now.
Arsenal are considered a great team in England and that explains why their annual budget is around £ 150 million.
That money is bigger than the budgets of any other team in the bottom half of the league table.
With the possibility of relegation now very real, Sun Sports says Arsenal have protected themselves from such an eventuality and most of their current players will receive a 25% cut in their current salary.
It turned out to show that Arsenal will save £ 37.5 million from such deductions, but it will still be a significant budget for an England second division team.
The report says that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is currently the highest earner overall at the club with £ 350k paid weekly.
That money will drop to £ 262.5k per week, if the Gunners don’t survive the crash.
Willian will see his £ 220k a week deal cut down to £ 165k a week, but it will still be a lot of money to pay for and the Gunners will probably get rid of most of the top earners if they can.
